Yang Du is very aware of the complexity of the northwest issue, which of course also includes the Qinghai-Tibet region. Now with the smooth progress of the abolition of slavery in Yunnan, Sichuan has also begun to prepare for the abolition of slavery, and has officially upgraded the "border special zone" to Xikang Province, strengthening
The administrative team has been recruited, but judging from the current situation, abolition of slavery is definitely not an easy task. It involves the interests of all aspects. The local religious upper class and the nobles have completely colluded together to form a very stubborn force. If it were not for Fu
The force is powerful and can intimidate Xiao Xiao, so these people have already jumped up.
The situation in the northwest is worse than that in Qinghai-Tibet. At least in Qinghai-Tibet, thanks to Qiao Yu’s many years of management, Zhenghui’s authority has been able to penetrate deeply. The northwest is completely a Du Li kingdom, and those local warlords are also arrogant and crazy. But now.
The main force wants to intimidate the local area and also assist the outer northeast. If there is not enough power to activate these crazy beasts, there will be another chaos.
What's more important is that Liu Xiang, Zhang Guangjian and others are all in Xinjiang now, guarding the newly restored territory. Shaanxi-Gansu and other places are very empty. If something happens at this time and the supply of Xinjiang troops is cut off, that will be the impact.
For the great cause of regaining the territory, the gains outweigh the losses, so Yang Du did not want Qiao Yu to get mad for a while.
Qiao Yu, however, has another consideration. The northwest needs stability, but this stability should be based on the strong control of Zhenglu, rather than compromise, especially with the Ma Jiajun, an ethnic separatist force, and because they
Controlling Shaanxi-Gansu and other areas, if the Xinjiang Squadron goes to war with the Red Russian army, these people will be a time bomb and must not be left behind.
"Mr. Xizi, if these people can be eradicated without using too many troops, do you think we should do it?"
Not using too many men and horses? That is naturally good, but can it be done? The northwest area is so large, and those Ma Jiajun cavalry are so numerous. If they engage in guerrilla warfare, it will definitely be the most troublesome thing!
"Prime Minister, can you do it?"
"I am going to appoint Cao Guan as the patrol envoy to the northwest, and take the two divisions Wu Peihu and Feng Yuxiang into the northwest!"
Yang Du's eyes lit up when he heard this. This is indeed a good idea. Now the main defense forces stationed in the provinces in the southwest are these Beiyang generals, among whom Wu Peihu, Feng Yuxiang and others are the best. If they are transferred by these people,
It is also a good thing for Qiao Yu to speed up the reorganization of the entire team.
But there are still some troubles. Now the patrol envoys of the three eastern provinces are handed over to Zhang Zuoshuang, and Outer Mongolia is handed over to Xu Shuzheng. If the northwest is handed over to Cao Guan, it means that the entire northern defense line will fall into the hands of the Beiyang veteran."
Whether the old man can be satisfied, how to balance interests, and whether Beiyang is willing or not are all carefully weighed!
"Prime Minister, do you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife? Although it is a good idea, your reform proposal cannot be expected to be completed by Cao Gun and others. I say there is no need to be too hasty to deal with Beiyang. It can be simmered slowly for three to five years.
The Beiyang faction has completely disappeared!"
"Hahaha! Mr. Xizi, you guessed wrong this time. I was building the plank road openly and secretly infiltrating Chen Cang. I asked Cao Qing and others to go to the northwest just to create an illusion of killing with a borrowed knife and make the Ma Jiajun people make a mistake in their judgment.
Then lure the snake out of the hole and eradicate all Ma's army in one fell swoop. They don't even care about their little cavalry. Even if they can organize 100,000 cavalry, they still can't stop my tank troops!"
It is inevitable to eliminate the Ma Jiajun, not only to stabilize the northwest, but also to kill chickens and scare monkeys. Qiao Yu wants to further scare the princes of the world and make these people accept the reorganization of the army obediently and not try to resist. The Ma Jiajun is that chicken
, and the Beiyang veteran is the monkey who needs to be shocked. Now Qiao Yu is thinking about how to get the maximum benefit with the least investment. Qiao Yu can no longer send too many people, so he thought of using Beiyang as a cover!
Although Yang Du was very scheming, he didn't know much about the new weapons, and he didn't know much about the combat effectiveness of the army equipped with the new weapons. That's why the misunderstanding arose. However, when he heard that Qiao Yu was sure to annihilate the Ma Jiajun in one fell swoop, he felt very happy in his heart.
Secretly this is the best choice.
"Prime Minister, have you calculated how many troops are needed?"
"Of course I need to ask an expert about this!"
Jiang Baili had already rushed to Beijing to prepare for the training of the National Defense Forces. The person in charge of the Wuchang General Staff was Zhang Xiaohuai. After Qiao Yu called him, Zhang Xiaohuai became excited when he heard Qiao Yu's introduction.
"Prime Minister, I have been fighting in Europe for several years. Now that I am free, I am not used to it. I am asking you for an order of arrows. I will leave it to me to destroy the Ma Jiajun. I have calculated that the elite troops of Ma Fuxiang and others are also
There are less than 10,000 cavalry. If some peripheral forces are added, it will not exceed 20,000. As long as you give me a tank brigade and an infantry brigade, it is enough. However, I need the cooperation of Cao Qing and others, and I can defeat the Ma Jiajun.
Annihilate them all and make sure no one can escape!"
"Leon Nong's 10,000 to 20,000 cavalry is not a small number, and the Ma family's army are local snakes. Don't underestimate the enemy!" Yang Du said with a smile.
"Mr. Xizi, the Ma Jiajun's equipment is extremely poor and their training is seriously insufficient. They can't stop bullets and artillery shells with just their bloody courage. Besides, we have tanks, armored vehicles, and planes in the sky. As long as they dare to take action,
, there will definitely be no coming back, you can rest assured!”
"Run Nong, since you are so confident, I will transfer one of Lu Han's brigade to you, and then transfer a mountain brigade. We must annihilate the Ma Jiajun in one fell swoop and shock Xiaoxiao everywhere!"
Zhang Xiaohuai took the order and hurriedly dispatched troops and generals. Qiao Yu issued another order to Cao Gun. Feng Guozhang was already on his deathbed. Cao Gun suddenly became the direct leader, but this is no longer the era of Beiyang. This
Not only did the aura of the Zhili leader not bring any benefits to Cao Suo, it also turned him into a big target. Especially after Shi Yi led his army to Zhili, Cao Suo's situation became more and more difficult.
Here is the threat of soldiers, and over there is Jiang Baili reorganizing the army. Cao Zheng is not a fool. In other words, the purpose of reorganizing the army is to eliminate dissidents. He must be the first to bear the brunt, and he doesn't know what kind of position he can be given.
When he was anxious, Qiao Yu's order was conveyed, and he was appointed as the patrol envoy to the northwest. Although the northwest was poor, he was still a feudal official, and he could leave Zhili, a circle of right and wrong. Cao Guan was very happy
, a close friend of mine sent a telegram to Wu Peihu.
At this time, Wu Peihu also received an order to transfer his men to the northwest. Wu Peihu thought more than Cao Ting. Now most of Beiyang's old base have been sent to the border areas, and they are obviously marginalized. Wu Peihu
Wu Peihu was not willing to give in, but seeing that others had the opportunity to make contributions, Wu Peihu was not convinced, and he did not have the capital to compete with Zhong Yang, so Wu Peihu also chose to agree.
Cao Suo led his army to the northwest in a mighty manner, while Zhang Xiaohuai's movements seemed much more secretive, and the army was also gathering towards the "north."
In addition to rectifying various domestic forces, Qiao Yu has also been secretly paying attention to one person, that is Kolchak. During World War I, he served as the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. After the Russian February Revolution, he fled and later supported the Provisional Government.
fu, returned to Russia, and after his death in October, he led the Russian White Army to fight against the Red Army led by the Soviet Union. He was recognized by the Allies as the leader of the Russian Provisional House, and was later captured and executed by the majority party.
Qiao Yu didn't care about the life or death of a Russian official. What made Qiao Yu pay attention was the gold in his hand. In this era of gold standard, gold is not just a simple currency, but also the cornerstone of a country's financial and monetary security. However,
China is not a gold-producing country, and has been frequently plundered in modern times, so it does not have much gold and silver reserves at all.
During World War I, Qiao Yu accumulated the first batch of gold for Southwest China through an arms deal with the Tsar. Naturally, the misty Kolchak gold fell into Qiao Yu's eyes, and he must get this gold.
At any cost.
After the Russian Civil War began, Kolchak began to buy weapons everywhere, hoping to defeat the majority party. But after the news spread that Kolchak had obtained a large amount of gold, the Allies began to blackmail Kolchak severely.
, forcing him to spend three to five times the price to purchase weapons.
Among all the countries, only the Ganhuo merchants from China seemed to be ill-informed and still sold arms at the original price. These honest Chinese businessmen were immediately favored by Kolchak and began to purchase large quantities of Fengguo equipment. However,
Kolchak did not know that most of these Chinese businessmen were disguised by the Investigation Bureau and the Gendarmerie. Through transactions, they quickly determined that Kolchak did have an astonishing amount of gold in his hands, and in addition to gold
, and there are a lot of jewelry, which were plundered and searched for by the Tsarist family for hundreds of years.
Among them there must be property plundered by the Tsar from China. After figuring out the situation, a large net was quietly launched. Kolchak was defeated by the majority party's troops in November 1919. Kolchak led his followers,
There was even more attractive gold, so he had to leave Omsk and flee to the Far East.
It took Chinese intelligence officers more than a year to finally figure out Kolchak's handling of this batch of treasures. This batch of treasures was divided into three parts, and part of the gold was transported to Chita in advance.
A large amount of jewelry, agate cultural relics and other artifacts were transported to Tobolsk, and the most important thing, about more than 500 tons of gold, was personally escorted by Kolchak. This huge amount of money has become the basis of Kolchak's dream of restoring the country.
Already.
After the Chinese side obtained the exact information, they appraised the treasures and estimated the total value to be more than 700 million US dollars. Moreover, they were all valuables. It was too tempting, and it was impossible to take them. Instead, you were blamed for them!
Qiao Yu also knew that a good opportunity could never be missed, so he sent his confidant Wu Fenglou to personally direct the operation. Wang Tianhe was responsible for providing intelligence support. After discussion, they decided to catch all the treasures in one fell swoop and never give them to the Russians.
There were only a few people left, so when Kolchak fled eastward, a special operations team led by Luo Ying had already gone deep into Tobolsk to get the jewelry and cultural relics first.
Then they mobilized elite soldiers to get the gold from Kolchak, and finally the gold from Chita. After Luo Ying received this task, he was also shocked and inexplicable, although he was no longer a passionate young man.
But the excitement of snatching the Tsar's treasure still made his blood boil. Now Russia is full of bandits and stragglers, and the entire country has lost order. This chaos just gave Luo Ying and the others a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Luo Ying and his more than 20 men
The people arrived in Topolsk smoothly, and the treasures were already waving to them!dd
